NAME¶
dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_gencontrol [
debhelper options]
[
-- params]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
control files, and installing them into the
DEBIAN directory with the
proper permissions.
This program is merely a wrapper around
dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls
it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym packages), and
passes in some additional useful flags.
Note that if you use
dh_gencontrol, you must also use
dh_builddeb(1) to build the packages. Otherwise, your build may fail to
build as
dh_gencontrol (via
dpkg-gencontrol(1)) declares which
packages are built. As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it
some times adds additional packages, which will be built by
dh_builddeb(1).
OPTIONS¶
- -- params
- Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).
- -uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
- This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1). It
is deprecated; use -- instead.

This program is a part of debhelper.
